NHTSA ODI 11299097

TWO TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK MY CAR HAS STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TURNING ONTO A BUSY STREET AND WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE AND THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON RAILROAD TRACKS. NO LIGHTS CAME ON TO INDICATE A PROBLEM BEFORE IT SHUT OFF. IT TOOK MULTIPLE TRIES BEFORE THE CAR TURNED BACK ON. NO CODES COME UP WHEN CHECKING FOR A PROBLEM SO MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THE ISSUE.

THE LIGHT TO GET AIRBAG SERVICED KEEPS COMING ON AND GOING OFF. IT HAS STARTED STALLING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING OR COMING TO A STOP. NOTICED THAT IT DIDN'T DO IT AS BAD ONCE CAR WAS WARMED UP, BUT THEN IT DROPPED POWER WHILE WE WERE IN TRAFFIC ON A BRIDGE OVERPASS AND WE HAD TO LIMP IT HOME. LOOKED UP THE WARNING LIGHT MEANINGS AND IT SAID WE SHOULD NOT DRIVE IT AS IT WILL EITHER LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING AND HAVE TO BE LIMPED OR IT WILL ACCELERATE AND WE WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO STOP IT. SO I HAVE A CAR THAT CANNOT BE DRIVEN AND I HAD SEEN THAT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS HOWEVER, WHEN I PUT MY VIN NUMBER IN, IT SAID THERE WERE NO UNREPAIRED RECALLS FOR THIS VIN NUMBER.*DT CONSUMER'S HUSBAND AND SON-IN-LAW REPAIRED THE VEHICLE.*JB

MY CAR FREQUENTLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND IT'LL STALL. MOST OF THE TIME IT STARTS BACK UP AND RUNS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENS WITH NO LIGHTS WHEN I GOT IT CHECKED IT WAS NO FOUND ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE ENGINE, POWER TRAIN ETC. IT'S IN GOOD CONDITION AND WELL MAINTAINED. I'M NOT SURE OF THE ISSUE I DID RESEARCH THAT OTHER VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE COMPLAINTS IT'S EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR DOES

I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TO THE CURRENT DATE. THE CAR ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. THE CAR WORKED FINE FOR A WHILE AND THEN STARTED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM FOUND WITH THE CAR. NOW THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND I'M STUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM AND A PAYMENT FOR THIS DEATH TRAP. THIS PAST WEEK THE CAR HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT WILL SHUT OFF AND THE "D" LIGHT WILL BLINK. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, AND THEN TRY TO RESTART. IT STRUGGLES TO RESTART, AND THEN WILL FINALLY START. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND LEFT MY FAMILY AND I COASTING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO SLA. ON BRAKES AND DRIVE UP ON THE SIDEWALK. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS. MY CAR IS NOT LISTED UNDER A RECALL, BUT IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS CHRYSLER 200'S THAT ARE BEING RECALLED. TRADING THIS CAR WILL ONLY SET UP ANOTHER BUYER BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS NOT DETECTABLE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER CAUTION LIGHT COMES ON.

I'VE PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2017. ABOUT FOUR TO FIVE MONTHS DOWN THE LINE I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE BECAUSE MY TRANSMISSION LIGHTS JUST POPS ON WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND SWITCHES GEARS WHILE DRIVING. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FELT NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT THIS IS AN ON GOING THING.

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY CAR THE ENGINE HAD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF STOPPING ME IN TRAFFIC. ONCE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A TURN, TWICE I WAS STUCK IN A BUSY INTERSECTION, I TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS EACH TIME. EVERYTIME THE LIGHTS FOR THE GEARS WAS FLASHING BACK N FORTH BETWEEN THE GEARS.. I TURNED THE CAR OFF WAITED AWHILE, EVERY-TIME I BECAME A SITTING DUCK. I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO BE KILLED IN THIS CAR. HOPEFULLY THIS CAR IS A RECALL. BELOW I LISTED THE MOST RECENT DATE.

WHEN STOPPED OR SLOWING DOWN FROM BARNES ROAD THAT CROSSES POWERS ONE OF THE BUSY ROADS IN COLORADO SPRINGS, THE CAR SHOOTS FORWARD REAL FAST ALMOST SHOOTING ME INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW, BUT MY FOOT IS ON THE BREAK.. THEN WHEN YOU LET YOUR FOOT OFF THE BREAK IT WONT MOVE LIKE IT HAS SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEN IT GOES INTO GEAR. AT TIMES WHEN YOU PUT IT IN REVERSE ALL OF A SUDDEN THE E BREAK ENGAGES AND IT JOLTS YOU TO A DEAD STOP,I HAVE TO PUSH THE BUTTON A COUPLE OF TIMES FOR IT TO RELEASE. I'M STARTING TO WISH I NEVER BOUGHT THIS CAR,

MY TRANSMISSION JERKS VERY BAD IN BETWEEN EVERY GEAR. ONE MORING I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY HOUSE AND I HEARD A LOUD POP FROM UNDER THE CAR AND SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING I SEE EVERY OTHER 200 IS ON THE RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION BUT THIS ONE I REALLY WISH SOMEONE WOULD LOOK IN TO IT . THE DEALER SAID IT'S NORMAL FOR THE CAR TO SHAKE AND JERK I WORK ON CARS THAT'S NOT TRUE.

AS I AM DRIVING THE PARKWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MPH MY CAR WITH OUT ANY WARNING STARTED WITH FLASHING RED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE STARTED GOING FROM HOT TO COLD AND THE ENGINE SYMBOL FLASHED ON DASH BOARD. I WAS IN THE LEFT HAND LANE WITH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC PASSING ME. WITHIN 2-3 MINUTES AS I STARTED TO GO DOWN HILL THE DASH FLASHED STEERING WILL BE DISABLED, THEN AUTOBRADING WITH BE DISABLED. THE RADIO AT THIS POINT SHUT OFF AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR. THERE WAS LITTLE ACCELERATION WHEN I TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS TO KEEP WITH THE PACE OF THE OTHER VEHICLES ATTEMPTING TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT MY HAZARDOUS FLASHERS ON BUT BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE A DASH BOARD SCREEN I WAS SURE THEY WERE WORKING EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL SEEMED TO BE OFF. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR WENT ABOUT 3 FEET AND STOPPED. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK ONCE I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR THE TOW COMPANY TO PULL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED AND THEY HAD TO USE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT.

SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE IN MOTION ON A MAIN HIGHWAY AND ON A A CITY STREET (X3) MY VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY JOLTED ME TO A STOP, EITHER SHUTTING DOWN OR SAYING I WAS IN P INSTEAD OF DRIVE. OBVIOUSLY, I HAD STARTED AND SHIFTED TO DRIVE TO GET FROM POINT A TO MY "SHUT DOWN" LOCATION, WHICH LEAVES ME CONFUSED ON WHY IT WOULD SAY I WAS IN PARK ALL OF THE SUDDEN. NO, MY EMERGENCY BREAK WAS NOT ON. ALSO, IT ALSO SEEMS AS IF IT WAS TRY STICKING IN EITHER D3 OR D4 GEARS RANDOMLY FROM TIME TO TIME OVER THE LAST WEEK. I WAS HELPED BY 3 OFFICERS TO GET MY VEHICLE PUSHED AND MOVED BACK TO MY RESIDENCE. THIS LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE TRYING TO BREAK AT A STOP LIGHT. I AM UNSURE OF THE COMPONENTS CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS SO I AM LISTING THEM AS UNKNOWN. I HAVE REVIEWED 8 RECALLS PERTAINING 2015 CHRYSLER 200S BUT AM UNSURE OF A RECALL NUMBER I WOULD LIST.

CRUISE CONTROL- TRAVELING DOWN INTERSTATE IN THE MOUNTAIN REGION OF N. GEORGIA, MY CRUISE WAS SET FOR 55MPH. THE CRUISE PICKED UP SPEED UP TO 70 MPH THEN THE CAR STARTED JERKING VERY CONFUSED AT WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE DOING. THE BRAKE WOULDN'T RELEASE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I DID GET IT RELEASED ONCE THE RPM'S SETTLED DOWN.

THAT YOU CAN SEE IN FRONT OF YOU. WHEN GOING UP AND INCLINE WHAT SO EVER. YOUR VISIBILITY FROM THE HEADLIGHT IS APPROXIMATELY 20 FOOT IN FRONT OF YOU. TERRIBLE HEADLIGHTS. ITS SCARY GOING UP ANY INCLINE NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE WHAT'S 25 FOOT IN FRONT OF YOU. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED AT MY DEALERSHIP.
